Changes in yield, protein, oil and maturity of groundnut cultivars with the application of sulphur fertilizers and fungicides
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 27 March 2009
Summary
Fungicide applications in Malawi have shown improvements in groundnut kernel yield. Improved fertility of sulphur-deficient soils contributes to such gains when sulphur dust is used as the fungicidal agent. Application of sulphur alone to deficient soils lowered the oil/protein ratio of kernels, whereas a singular fungicidal effect raised the oil content, probably through delayed plant maturity.
